Performance ranks are a quick visual measure of the contestant's season vs. historical data from all prior contestants, in three basic (scorable) categories:
1. Performance in individual challenges (MPF), as a measure of "physical game";
2. Ability to vote people out consistently (VFB%, or VFB/TCA), or "strategic game"; and
3. Ability to avoid being voted against (rVAP, or TCA-VAP) - which scales better than a percentage would - for "social/strategic game."

Abi-Maria Gomes - Bios
Excerpts from her CBS.com Survivor: Philippines bio page:
"Pet Peeves: Complainers
3 Words to Describe You: Driven,
creative and charming.
If You Could Have 3 Things on The Island What
Would They Be and Why?
1) I would bring a book to distract me.
2) I would bring a pen for writing.
3) And, I would bring a notebook to write on.
Survivor Contestant You Are Most Like: Parvati
– she is as charming as I am.
Why You Think You’ll 'Survive' Survivor: I
bring social skills and team work. I am a motivator. I
will also bring a very positive energy.
Why You Think You Will Be the Sole Survivor: I
will bring my 'A' game! I am strategic, I am athletic and
I have an ability to persuade situations to my
favor. "
From her EW.com interview, by Dalton Ross:
"'I will win Survivor because I'm charming and bring a lot of sass to the table,' says Abi-Maria. (I'm not exactly sure how sass helps you win, but whatever.) Abi-Maria is actually coming to her Survivor party a few years late. 'I was supposed to be on Tocantins,' she explains. 'However they thought I was going to have an advantage over everybody else because I am from that area in Brazil.' As if the sass did not give her advantage enough!"
From her CBS Survivor: Cambodia bio page (don't get your hopes up)
